So much for the pleas for dignity... Ok conspiracy theorists. I'd like you to answer one question: Why? Why would Bush, or Cheney, or whoever within the government want to plan and carry out the attacks of 5 years ago? To turn 60% of the country against them? To scare people for 8 years? To pass some unconstitutional laws? To get some money? To please Lord Xenu? There are, in fact, no good reasons why anyone in the government woul

Heroin Fields in Iraq I believe he's referring to Afghanistan, but him being a conspiracy theorist, I don't expect him to be big on 'facts.' While I don't agree with much of what the President has done (or any of it), I recognize that today is the one day that politics and theories and ever

Today is one day we shouldn't worry about politics or conspiracies or arguing. Let's just have a peaceful day to remember that 3000 of our fellow countrymen and women are no longer with us. Is one day out of 365 too much to ask?

Reply to What ObjectDock features would you like to see? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Do the developers read these? I see the devs comment on the forums a lot, and if they didn't know this thread existed, I'm sure someone told 'em about it. I don't know if they'll implement everything on here, but they probably know about our requests by now. Stardock is usually pretty good about responding to our feedback. <img src="http://im

Reply to Weekly Poll (8/29 - 9/5) in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm not too worried by the results. Only 224 people even took the poll. There are many more people who skin now, and more will probably come out just to participate in the contest. Even if only 45 people submitted stuff, it would still be a pretty kickass GUI Champs.

Reply to Windows Vista Pricing Official in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

There is no reason to charge 100's of dollars for a disc and a serial number! The price of software isn't dependant on the price of the media it resides on. If you buy XP from a store, the box, the cardboard and papers inside and the cd is less than $1.00. But this type of software is years and years

Reply to Windows Vista Pricing Official in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Hm. These prices are quite high, but I think Microsoft assumes most people will get Vista only when they actually buy a new computer. Most people probably won't upgrade their XP to Vista, and most people don't build their own machines. I know that I wouldn't upgrade to Vista until I do get a new computer. I'm curious what this will do to the prices of computers themselves. Dell still charges $159 (I think) to upgrade XP Home to XP Pro. Will

Reply to Why we shouldn't simply leave Iraq in War on Terror WinCustomize Forums

Yes, most of the current predictions if we pulled out are that Iraq will further descend into chaos. But let us not forget the other predictions. It was predicted Iraq had vast stores of WMD. Rumsfeld even said he knew where they were. It was predicted after the initial battle was over, Iraqis would shower us with rainbows and gumdrops. It was predicted the entire operation would cost no more than $50 billion. It's in the hundreds of billions of dollars now. A billion

Reply to WinCustomize 2K7 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Private messaging is a good idea. People have said ObjectDock should be split up, but what about doing subgalleries? The 2k7 list said there would be more galleries, but it might be a good idea to have a gallery for Icons, and subgalleries with Misc Icons and Iconpackager. DX should have subgalleries, and of course ObjectDock. And anything else I didn't think of. I'm not sure if this is what the plan is, but just what I think woul

Reply to Are you still going to buy Vista? in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

I'll probably get it whenever I end up getting (or building) a new computer, sometime next summer. It's probably better to wait a few months to get it, just in case there are problems. I'd like to get Ultimate, but it is awfuly expensive, and I don't know if it will be worth it for me. Premium is probably good enough for most people. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 AL

Drag to launch! I've been emailing (read: bothering ) Stardock about this, and made a forum post or two as well. Basically, you should be able to drag a file, like a .jpg, over a program shortcut in the dock, such as Photoshop or Paint Shop, and have it open in that program, rather whatever the default is w

I dont personally find anything wrong with peer to peer networking Nothing wrong with the network itself, but the problem is that 95% of the stuff out there is pirated and violates copyrights. Just because something is easy to steal, doesn't mean it's ok to do so. I don't really feel bad for people who've gotten viruses or spyware when d

Reply to Control of Internet Administration Remains with U.S. Government in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I wouldn't mind an international organization taking control over 'net administration, but only if that their only job. I'd be especially worried by countries like China pushing their own censorship laws on the rest of the world. As Starkers has said, we've been quite good at keeping the 'net open and easy, so unless someone can come along with something better , not just different, we'd all be better off with US as the 'net admins.</f
